How to i monitor amount of upload using PHP?

hi,
I have written a script that uses PHP FTP to upload files from users to our web server. However the problem is that I Want to show what percentage of file has been uploaded? Please tell me how do i do this using PHP? I have read somewhere that this is not possible using PHP? Is this true? Experts please give your suggestions!!

Cheers!!

you can't because the php upload is 100% serverside.

the only way I know is using java

hmm....so that means i got to create a applet is it?? I just read somewhere that it is possible using php_perl...is it true??

The best I could suggest would be to do a filestat on your FTP file, determine the size and then know the speed of your connection from server to ftp, and do a time based %.  Of course, you'd have to put some notes about it being approximate - and be very lenient with your initial calculation.
